An Efficient Fractional Secant-Type Method and Its Application to Boundary Value Problems
摘要
An emerging field of study is the application of fractional calculus to iteratively solve the nonlinear equations. Recently, several Newton-type techniques have been proposed that make use of the notion of fractional order derivatives. However, the existence of at least first order derivative is essentially required for the convergence of these methods. On the contrary, we propose a new secant-type method, which is inherently derivative-free, although its construction is based on the idea of conformable fractional derivative of order
